According to Lagbaja, his mask is used as an icon of man’s facelessness.[1] Lagbaja is a Yoruba word that means "nobody in particular".[2] It depicts the anonymity of the so-called “common man”. The mask and the name symbolize the faceless, the voiceless in the society, particularly in Africa. He is also known as "Omo baba mu'ko mu'ko"
this song is hard da best artist ive ever seen hiz soloz r da best but his songz hav a message dont mess with him he is a rebel dat iz y he wherez a MASK hiz songz r cool and his songz r real and down 2 earth lol ive seen hiz real face b4 my dad noz him personally look at my advantage.
OK do the math. Nice was born Jan 17, 1980 (29 yrs old). Lagbaja's first album was released in 1993 - 9ice was 13 and lagbaja was already a grown man at this time. Lagbaja is not 9ice !
ohhhhhhhh impossible.lagbadja is mysterious..............well when 9ice is still been feed on breasts,lagbadja is already recording his first album.luv this song,saheed balogoun danced on it in kkk movie.
wow, check out the long line of buckets waiting for the public tap (or private operator) to operate. I can laugh seeing those wide basin (my earliest name for is was bashia- sounds like what a neighbour used to call it)
that part where the woman was speak some language is it delta? warri? or edo or something what language wat she speaking bascially does anyone know pls tell me
omg I'd watched this like 10times, i never even got the whole nails thing...but i just got it lol carpenter, isho okun le lmaoooo omg that man is jokes and whats this am hearing about Basket Mouth? I know hes some comedian but is he in this video too? And whose voice is that at 3:20? some powerful sh8t there sha! and what language is that anyway?
luv dis song makes me laugh everytym i watch it. "gd old daiz".
i luv ego's part but most of all i LUV basket mouth's part (at unilag). " u da jump up n down lyke jagirova... but if u try me n i vex ur mama no go kno u again", <<< dat is a common pharse used alot by nigerians.
da gyal made me laugh wit da nails n corns. ( da own point was dat she was a capenter n she was actin all top wen da boi chat her up) looooooool.
One time this happened to me. I thought I had a crush on a young woman but it turned out she was cold hearted and also had a bunch of corn and nails in her purse. What a laughing stock.
this guy his good,i am very sure oduduwa blood is runing down his veins,cus his ways of expressing the reality of nigeria extrem maltritent of the common people, by the elite rubish and ruten class, is pure wisdom and art in his pure state.
lagbaja is 4ever my man, what a perfect song..guys and ladies, life na jeje, no rush or else u'll everly get someone who's up to ur whims and someone who go fit take on ya one time..i miss home like craze.its ya boy, representing brooklyn, baby
check out 4:21 when the guy shoved the chick's packable on the ground and he saw all the stuffs and then burst out laughing. that was some funny shit. Like a guy who took a chick to a restaurant and then the chick lied that she only eats english food but 5 minutes before the food came, she threw up garri. that shit was so funny i almost rolled over on the ground
I have been out of Nigeria for more than 20 years. Sometimes I go on visit. But when I see this guy, I am proud to be a Nigerian. Look, this guy is just marvelous. Wnat he's doing is more than music. I would risk saying is one of the most creative artist I've ever seen. If he's living here ine the west, wow, can't imagige his fame international. Keep eyes on him.
am still feeling Lagbaja, this video brings back those lovely memories in Naija,everything about him is so colourful, wish I could see his face, tho we are thousand of miles away I still dey feel Lagbaja for here
the water pump scene where they had all types of bowls and buckets lined up reminds me of days we had to fetch water at public taps or some alhaji's backyard...lol
